Alice Reading Chair - Llandudno, Wales, Great Britain. - Artistic Seating on Waymarking.com

A brand new sculpture, known as 'Alice Reading Chair and Toadstool Seats' Supporting Llandudnos strong association with the story of 'Alice's adventures in Wonderland' by Lewis Carol.

"Llandudno has a link with Lewis Carroll; because the family of the "real Alice" regularly spent holidays at their holiday-home Penmorfa, later the Gogarth Abbey Hotel and recently the Penmorfa Hotel (destroyed 2009, ignoring public protest) on the West Shore of Llandudno. Contrary to local myth, Alice Liddell did not meet Carroll in the town, and was not told the Alice stories in the town. It is, however, just possible that she may have first read the Alice books in print while on holiday in the town. There is no evidence that Carroll ever visited Penmorfa, and he probably would have been unwelcome if he had. Indeed, there is contrary evidence; a letter exists, written by one of Alice Liddell's sisters when grown-up, saying she had no memory of Carroll ever visiting the girls in Llandudno. It's also said that part of the book was written at the St George's Hotel In Llandudno." Text Source: (visit link)
